An Examination Of The Deliberate Practice Framework In Quad Rugby, Rachel Lynn Boxell
An Examination Of The Deliberate Practice Framework In Quad Rugby, Rachel Lynn Boxell
Masters Theses
Ericsson, Krampe, and Tesch-Römer (1993) forwarded a general framework to account for the characteristics and developmental experiences of individuals who have acquired exceptional performance in any domain. This framework proposed that experts undergo an extensive acquisition period involving the accumulation of thousands of hours of deliberate practice while overcoming various constraints that serve as functional barriers to the achievement of expertise. The purpose of this study was to examine expert disability-sport athletes to determine how well their experiences and characteristics were captured by Ericsson et al.’s (1993) framework. In Part I, quad rugby players recalled the amount of time spent …
Comparison Of Methods Simulating The Ankle Sprain Mechanism:Inversion Drop Test And Landing On A Slanted Surface, Qingjian Chen
Comparison Of Methods Simulating The Ankle Sprain Mechanism:Inversion Drop Test And Landing On A Slanted Surface, Qingjian Chen
Masters Theses
The purposes of this study were to investigate the kinematics of two ankle brace testing protocols. They were drop landing on a slanted surface and the inversion drop test. Difference in kinematics and ground reaction forces of drop landing wearing an ankle brace on flat and lateral slant surfaces were also investigated. Eleven healthy subjects performed five trials in each of six dynamic movement conditions. They were an ankle inversion drop test on the inversion platform, drop landing from 0.45 m onto slant surface, and drop landing from 0.45 m onto flat surface with and without an ankle brace. A …
Seasonal Variation In Lake Erie Picoplankton, Star Nicole Loar
Seasonal Variation In Lake Erie Picoplankton, Star Nicole Loar
Masters Theses
Striking rates of environmental changes combined with increased demand make it essential to develop a better understanding of global freshwater resources. Seasonal hypoxia in the central basin of Lake Erie is the result of thermal stratification and lake morphology. Limnetic physics can, however, only explain part of Lake Erie‟s “behavior”: the activity(s) of the ecosystem‟s biological members can be equally important. The goal of this study was to identify picocyanobacterial community members in the central basin of Lake Erie during summer stratification and the winter season to see how they may vary with season. Identification of microbial communities under the …
